In Memory of Yolandi

A quiet light, a vibrant spark,

A voice that lingered long after the dark.

In every dream she dared to chase,

She left behind a trace of grace.

Not measured in years, but in all she gave,

In paths she shaped and hearts she saved.

Though she’s gone from sight, her colors stay,

Woven gently into each new day.
